Description
This folio is one of two folios (one of savoury preparations, the other, sweet) and several loose recipes that were kept by Rose Seidler. The collection of recipes enhances our understanding of Rose Seidler’s culinary repertoire and skills. It adds richness to our knowledge of the Seidler’s home life and extra dimension to the interpretation of the kitchen, dining room, and entertaining areas at Rose Seidler House. The majority of recipes in the folios are recorded in German, with many added later in English, reminding us of the Seidler’s Austrian heritage, the transference of tastes and the cultural gulf that many migrant families have to bridge to make Australia their home. Many of the recipes do not follow Jewish culinary observances, but could be adapted to suit religious protocols, as necessary.

This folio (Folio 1, savoury recipes) contains 56 recipes typed in German.
